IW had a fantastic hold OS this weekend, only down 25%. Lmao at the doom and gloomers who  kept trying to insist 2b wouldn't happen even just last week. Y'all know who you are. Hell, if Japan surprises and does a little better than expected, then TFA would be back on the menu. 

 

 

It it already opened in Japan. It opened everywhere e

He has really gotten lazy over the last year or so. He doesn't always do a Thursday column anymore and he even skipped the Sunday recap sometimes. I used to love reading his Sunday recap but he doesn't have time for it anymore it seems like. Then he makes really questionable box office statements like the one in that tweet.    I even sent him I tweets offering to take over his Thursday column. Not surprisingly he never responded LOL

Lol, oops. Why did Brad say it opened at the end of June there in his weekend writeup?

Yeah, I'm paying less and less attention. Any box office insiders actually worth following on Twitter?

Yes, something you yourself didn't know until recently though. We've also established this weekend usually has far stronger competition, and it's worth noting Solo's second weekend drop is the worst among any recent MD opener, even Apocalypse. 

 

Thanks buddy. I'll be sure to point out your shortcomings next time I get a chance.

Wtf? Not pointing out your "shortcomings", pointing out that the poster you responded to had a valid point about Solo's hold being poor this weekend and being surprised it wouldn't hold better without any competition. You told him not to be surprised by it since post MD drops are big, but it's still worse than normal and you yourself were surprised to learn about post MD holds mere days ago. So why act like it should have been common knowledge?

He's probably one of the more insightful box office people to follow. He makes silly mistakes in his blog but when it comes to the numbers, he actually considers a lot of factors before being all doom and gloom or being over enthusiastic. He's also pretty good with multipliers for films. He also doesn't jump up on the hype machine for a movie just because. I've mentioned this before but he's probably the only person who writes for a credible website, that said he didn't feel Solo had the hype behind it to open where the trades had it opening at. I don't know if I'm giving him too much credit for things cause like I said his blog can be a mess at times but not when it comes to the numbers lol Scott has one of the few box office blogs I actually bother reading.

Not saying it's common knowledge.  Chill out dude. Just pointing out that there's other films that have fallen steeply post Memorial Day. Also I am on my phone and also I am on my lunch break so I don't have time to make long a structured posts explaining things. This is just sort of the Cole's notes version of what I can say right now.

Ten seconds in and she's already taken a shot at Kathleen Kennedy 

 

Shes also mentioned the amusement parks again and the need for massive crowds. As if Disney parks don't get massive crowds on their own

What a vapid moron.  

[Barnack]

Do people talk about producers/studio exec that much for the non-SH/Star wars movies ? Even the giant like Graham king, Rudin, Marshall, what Heyman did with Potter/Gravity/Paddington franchise/etc..., etc... ?

 

That do feel a bit new to me, even when a Rudin has an Aloha we do not have 1% of that talk it seem. They are not supposed to be TV show runner, picking the good writer for the project, matching the good director for it and helping him once he become the boss if things goes well.

She compared Justice League's second weekend to Solo's but didn't JL have a Thanksgiving weekend in its second weekend 

[EmpireCity]

Lol.

The only reason I ever heard of Grace Randolph is because of people talking about how bad she is. Schadenfreude won't make me click one of those videos.
